Setup a Smart Form


Smart Forms are used to gather information about products and services that require configuration options, choices, customization or other special instructions.

When the Smart Form has been completed, the information that has been collected, travels with the Shopping Cart for approval, and is sent with the resulting Order to the supplier.

Many products or services require different information, and so different Smart Forms must be created and saved for each type item in the catalog. Smart Forms are stored in Java Server Page (JSP) files and are stored on the same machine as the Web Server and the Web Application Server.

You can create new Smart Forms externally using a text editor. You then use the Advanced Administration Application to add the new Smart Form to the Procurement application. To do this, you must select a name for the Smart Form, associate it with a catalog item and supplier, and activate it:
